Monday morning Weigh in!!

Good morning! I hopped on quickly to post my weight and saw this thread wasn't started yet, so here goes!! Surgery date: 254 Last week: 162 Today: 159!!!!!!!! Lost last week: 3 pounds Total lost: 95 pounds!! WOW!! Now....the lowest weight I've been at in the past 8 years is 156, so I'm really wanting to lose 4 pounds over the next 1-2 weeks. I haven't been 155 or lower since Patrick (my youngest) was 1 year old. After that, I went into a depression (didn't realize it at the time) and gained about 40 pounds and then with yo-yo dieting, I managed to gain up to over the 254. I still don't know what my actual highest weight was as I refused to step on the scales for over a year. I know I had lost probably 20 pounds when I finally saw the 254, so I'm guessing I was in the 270's at least. So, I'm getting really excited. Goals: 155 Then, to weigh what I weighed when we moved to TX in 1995: 145 I want to weigh this by the time I move out of TX and to VA. Wish me luck!!! Then, 135 - which I may make my goal weight for prior to the TT, depends on how I look/feel when I get there. Anyway, just wanted to share those with you all!!! Love to everyone!! Have a great week!!! I'll be MIA again with working on the house. I do read at night when I have a chance so I will try to check in along so you know I'm still alive. Susan

Hello Everyone; I was unable to weigh last week because I was on my mini vacation. So two weeks ago I weighed 189 and this week 184. So for the 2 week period I have lost 5 pounds. That is cool! My next goal is 180 then I will no longer be obese. My final goal is 145 and that is only 39 pounds away!!! I really can't beleive how close I am getting. Susan you are so close to the 155, I bet you can taste it! Have fun with the house. Tara

WOW great loss!! Keep it up! You are doing great!! Felicia =0)

Thanks Felicia, it is so nice to see you back in action, here on the board. I was missing your inspiration and kind words of incouragement. It appears that you are winning you battle over obesity as well. We are all winners here with all this great support. Tara

Great job on your weight loss!! You are going to be at your goal in no time! Felicia =0)

Thanks!! Same to you!!! You are doing so well!! Only 19 pounds till obese! How great is that???? I'm so proud of you and all your hard work! BTW, been missing your smiling face on the boards. Glad to see you posting a bit more often. Big hugs!!! Susan

I have been MIA awhile, but it's nice to see my fellow October losers! Weight at consult: 217 Weight at surgery: 206 Weight today: 135 Height: 5'2" I have lost about 80 lbs in about 7 months. I didn't think I'd lose so fast because I was a light-weight. I've had so many WOW moments! I am glad the weight loss has slowed down, though. I have only lost maybe 5 lbs in the last month. However, I only need to lose a little bit more, and yet I still have 5 months until my first year.
